Furiously Slaying the Bandits, Lingbo Weibu

"You little bastard, you're pretty good at hiding, aren't you?"

"Don't worry. Your father and those neighbors haven't gone far. I'll send you down to meet them right now!"

Inside the ruined temple, a bandit carrying a Nine-Ring Great Saber wore a cruel smile. The centipede-like scar on his face made him look even more vicious and terrifying.

"Enough nonsense. Finish him already so the brothers can head back to the village!"

The bandit beside him had long since grown impatient. He immediately raised his blade and charged out, chopping down at Lu Shaoyou's head.

"Die!"

The cold gleam of the blade carved a startling arc through the air.

Yet in the next instant, Lu Shaoyou moved, violently swinging the Qi Mei Cudgel in his hand.

The cudgel's shadow tore through the air, producing a piercing hum.

With a bang, the Qi Mei Cudgel smashed viciously into the bandit's face.

The force of several hundred jin was terrifying. The bandit's nose bridge shattered instantly, and blood sprayed forth like a fountain.

Before the bandit could react, Lu Shaoyou swung again, striking straight at his throat.

A crack of breaking bone rang out. The bandit did not even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground.

Killed a Third-class Warrior. Slaughter Value +50.

"Xiao Wu!"

Lu Shaoyou's sudden outburst stunned the bandits who had been watching the show. Some of them were still staring blankly at the corpse on the ground.

"You dare kill someone from Black Wind Village? You must be tired of living!"

"Attack together! Skin him alive for me!"

The leading bandit was the first to recover. Roaring in rage, he raised his long saber and charged at Lu Shaoyou.

Lu Shaoyou said nothing. The Qi Mei Cudgel in his hands whirled so densely that not even water could seep through, blocking the bandits' attacks.

A cudgel was a blunt weapon, and its length gave him an advantage, making it difficult for the bandits to get close.

Another blow struck a bandit across the cheek. He opened his mouth in a scream, and several bloodied teeth flew out.

Forcefully Splitting Mount Hua!

Spotting an opening, Lu Shaoyou leaped forward and brought his cudgel down. The sound of a skull cracking rang out.

Slaughter Value +50!

Black Dragon Sweeps Its Tail!

The instant the bandit fell, Lu Shaoyou sharply twisted his body. Using his waist as the axis, he swept the Qi Mei Cudgel behind him with all his strength, while silently thinking, System, consume 100 Slaughter Value to upgrade the Shaolin Cudgel Technique.

"Boom..."

In an instant, countless moves from the Shaolin Cudgel Technique poured into his mind, greatly raising his mastery of the cudgel and making his control over the force behind every strike more effortless.

"Ah!"

Two screams rang out in quick succession. Two bandits clutched their calves as they fell to the ground, howling without end.

Clearly, Lu Shaoyou's blow had shattered their leg bones, robbing them of their ability to fight.

"Ah! Brother Hu, my leg is broken!"

"Kill him! Kill him already!"

The leading bandit glanced at the two men on the ground, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

"Damn it, how did this brat suddenly become so strong?"

"Did he swallow some immortal pill?"

A trace of cold sweat seeped from his forehead. He was a Second-class Warrior, even a minor leader in Black Wind Village.

After receiving several of Lu Shaoyou's strikes just now, the surging force had numbed both his hands, and blood was even seeping from the web between his thumb and forefinger.

While he was still thinking, Lu Shaoyou gave him no chance. He viciously smashed his cudgel twice onto the heads of the two men on the ground.

They wanted to flee, but there was no way they could escape.

Slaughter Value +50.

Slaughter Value +10.

"Hmm, there was actually an Unranked Warrior too!"

The prompt in his mind made Lu Shaoyou pause slightly. The next instant, his cudgel thrust toward the side.

It was precisely the Shaolin Cudgel Technique—Spirit Snake Flicks Its Tongue.

The tremendous force drove the cudgel straight through the bandit's chest.

The bandit holding his saber stared in horror as blood gushed wildly from his mouth.

Lu Shaoyou yanked out the Qi Mei Cudgel, then layers of cudgel shadows descended and shattered the top of his skull.

Slaughter Value +50.

Everything had happened too quickly. From the start of the battle, only a dozen or so breaths had passed, yet four bandits had already died at Lu Shaoyou's hands.

"Brother Hu, what do we do?!"

The remaining bandits gathered around Brother Hu, gripping their blades as they watched Lu Shaoyou in the center of the temple with wary, trembling eyes.

He was too fierce!

An inch longer, an inch stronger.

That savage cudgel technique directly battered people until their heads split and blood flowed, reducing them to a mangled mess of flesh and blood.

As long as they took one blow, they would basically lose their ability to fight. It scared these bandits out of their wits.

Brother Hu tightened his grip on his blade again and again, then shouted with feigned calm, "What are you afraid of? That brat uses a cudgel. His stamina consumption must be enormous. Be careful and just keep him tied down!"

"The advantage is ours!"

"Attack!"

Suddenly, Brother Hu thrust both hands fiercely against the two bandits in front of him.

The two bandits stumbled forward in a daze, while Brother Hu used the force to sprint toward the temple entrance.

"Brother Hu..."

The other two were stunned by the sight before them. They exchanged a glance, instantly made their choice, and rushed out of the temple as well.

"Ah... Brother Hu, don't leave me behind..."

The bandits who had been shoved instantly realized they had been sold out, and they too wanted to run.

However, Brother Hu's push had been powerful, leaving them unable to react in time.

"It seems your Brother Hu has abandoned you," Lu Shaoyou said. He had not expected Brother Hu to be so decisive, fleeing outright and even using his companions to block the blade for him.

"Great hero, spare us!"

"We were forced into this too..."

"As long as you spare me, I'm willing to serve you like an ox or horse..."

The two abandoned bandits dropped to their knees and frantically kowtowed.

The only response they received was two strikes from Lu Shaoyou's cudgel.

Slaughter Value +50.

Slaughter Value +50.

Lu Shaoyou raised his cudgel and rushed out of the temple.

He saw that the three fleeing men had already run more than ten zhang away.

"You want to run? Not a chance!"

Lu Shaoyou broke into a wild sprint and chased after the three.

A moment later, Lu Shaoyou smashed his cudgel into the back of one bandit's head.

With a bang, the bandit toppled to the ground, clutching his head and howling.

After smoothly finishing him off with another blow, Lu Shaoyou did not stop, continuing the pursuit.

Slaughter Value +50.

Several breaths later...

"Bang..."

Slaughter Value +50.

In the mountain forest, Zhao Hu ran wildly. After hearing two successive screams behind him, his face turned even paler, and he wished he could grow two more legs.

Yet when it rains, it pours. Just as he turned his head to look for Lu Shaoyou's figure—

His right foot seemed to catch on a branch. His charging body lost its balance, and he fell flat on his face.

Two front teeth were knocked out at once, and the pain made Zhao Hu search the ground for his teeth.

When Lu Shaoyou, who was pursuing him from behind, saw the bandit fall, joy flashed across his face, and he quickened his pace by several degrees.

"Looks like even the heavens don't want you to live!"

Holding the bloodstained Qi Mei Cudgel, Lu Shaoyou landed beside the bandit and revealed a brilliant smile.

Yet in Zhao Hu's eyes, that smile was like seeing a demon from the abyss.

"Don't kill me... If you kill me, Black Wind Village won't let this go!" Zhao Hu covered his bleeding mouth, his speech leaking air as both feet kicked against the ground and he wriggled backward.

Lu Shaoyou swung his cudgel down, directly breaking the bandit's right leg.

"Ah!"

The scream startled the birds in the forest into flight.

"Bang..."

Lu Shaoyou struck again, breaking the bandit's left leg.

"Ah, you little bastard! If you've got the guts, kill me!"

"Even as a ghost, I won't let you go..."

After having both legs broken in succession, Zhao Hu clearly understood that the youth before him would not spare him, and he immediately began cursing.

Lu Shaoyou said nothing. He simply brought the cudgel down again and again, controlling the strength in his hand so he would not kill the other man with a single blow.

His father, Lu Dahai, had died at this man's hands. Naturally, Lu Shaoyou would not let him die so easily.

He numbly swung the Qi Mei Cudgel.

Once, twice, three times.

Only the sounds of cudgel striking flesh and the bandit's screams rose and fell through the mountain forest.

Slaughter Value +200.

Reward: Lingbo Weibu.

Only after nearly half an hour did the exhausted Lu Shaoyou dazedly come back to himself.

The bandit on the ground had long since stopped breathing. His entire body was a mangled mass of flesh and blood, his torn robes soaked through with blood, while the soil had been dyed a pitch-black red.

As if all strength had left him, Lu Shaoyou collapsed onto the ground. The sunlight shone over him, filling his whole body with warmth.

He gazed at the blazing sun overhead, his vision gradually becoming blurry.

Within the motley play of light and shadow, he seemed to see an honest, simple man waving at him.

"Father, I'm still alive..."
